TEHRAN - Andrea Stramaccioni is no longer the coach of Iran's Esteghlal soccer team, the Iranian club announced officially on Thursday.
Stramaccioni left Esteghlal on December 8 after Esteghlal club failed to transfer his salary "over the US anti-Iran banking sanctions", according to the Iranian media.
Later, the Italian coach received part of his unpaid salary by means of a check at Iran's Embassy in Rome, but he didn't return to Tehran.
On Thursday, Esteghlal announced that they've ended their relationship with Stramaccioni after six months.
